Libby’s mother, Crystal, has since taken took to Facebook to write that she will “forever have a hole in her heart” following her daughter’s death.

“You were our rock and you loved like I could never explain. It's beyond comprehension that you thought this could be a solution to end your pain,” Ms Bell posted this morning.

“I would have backed you the whole way and given my life for you to be at peace with yours.”

The death has sparked police to consider introducing anti-bullying laws to the state.

“Whether there is an opportunity for legislation that specifically relates to the low-level bullying that can often have as much of a devastating impact as more serious offences that are committed,” Commissioner Grant Stevens told reporters today.
